Caryophyllene

Responsible for the spicy taste in black pepper, beta caryophyllene is an impressive terpene that is unique because it is also a “dietary cannabinoid” (foodstuff for plants that acts as a cannabinoid and binds to your CB2 receptors). Studied for its potential to inhibit tumor growth and reduce alcohol abuse, this terpene provides a great deal of therapeutic benefits despite its lack of detectable physical effects.
